I’m sure most of you have heard about the death of Brett Jarolimek in Portland on Monday. I never met the guy, but it’s always sad when a member of the cycling tribe is taken before their time regardless of how much or little you knew them. Someone (or a few people, I don’t know the details) has decided to commemorate their fallen friend and fellow cyclocrosser with this life size stencil of him in his element. I think it’s great not only as a tribute, but also as a piece of art. I have a feeling that Brett would think so too. Pics are courtesy of -c-a-r-d-i-n-a-l-.
